Gift Guide: The Hibernating Homebody

Because it's cold outside and crackling fires, homemade soups and a good pair of slippers are worth everything. Give this sofa czar something a little more chic than a snuggie - homespun and natural, just like her.

A cup of something warm - my favorite Aveda Comfort tea is a blend of calming peppermint, floral and licorice notes. For those homebodies without a tea strainer, it's also offered in bags.

Homemade pine cone fire starters created from instructions on the Design Sponge blog. Not feeling so crafty? Here are some ready made options from Hen and Hammock, and Etsy.

For stews, soups and other comforting fare, the new all-clad slow cooker, featuring a removable cast aluminum insert for browning meats and veggies on top of the stove, and easy clean up afterwards. Available only on Williams-Sonoma.

A pleasantly organic place to rest a cup of tea, or some reading material. Root table from Pendleton.

Because I don't think I could live without mine, a classic hot water bottle with a snuggly red sweater. On Spoon Sisters.

A woodsy warm scent to fill her home with a mix of cedar, sandalwood and vanilla. Available on Apothica.
